Give me a link to one of my fics, and I'll give you details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

IT'S ACTUALLY STILL HARRY/DRACO, but we can pretend. I never specified what kind of jam it was, so that's my head canon for you. As for background canon, I went with EWE, so everything up until the epilogue happened as JKR wrote it... Except for the part where Draco loves Harry. And Harry doesn't love Ginny. But Harry also doesn't love Draco.
It's disgusting, they say, the way Draco Malfoy flaunts his freedom when he should be locked up in Azkaban. Look at him cavorting around town with would-be ex-Death Eater Blaise Zabini, they don't bother to whisper, how vile.
Draco knows what they say because they say it to his face, write it in the Prophet, graffiti it on the door of his flat. He lets them because it makes him feel better.
"You know, there's something seriously wrong about the fact that having people insult you makes you feel better about yourself," Blaise remarks as he stirs sugar into his tea. "Most people would recommend that you see a psychiatrist."
"It's like doing penance," Draco says absently. "Pass the jam." He's unconcerned; he has this conversation with Blaise at least once a week. He knows the script by heart now, knows which lines are his and when to say them. "Just think of it as my way of giving back to the community."

It's perfect, they say, the way Harry Potter married Ginny Weasley, his childhood sweetheart. A real storybook romance, they write in the wedding announcement, how touching.
So that's all I ever actually wrote, but basically, everyone hates Draco except, like, Blaise and Pansy (I never considered where his parents fit into this); Draco takes the abuse because he thinks he deserves it; Draco likes black currant jam; Blaise takes his tea with sugar...
Anyway, so Harry doesn't love Ginny, but they're married, because he doesn't know what else to do with his life (and neither does she). Harry runs into Draco. Draco has loved Harry since, like, Hogwarts (seriously, I titled this "i loved you first") and has been keeping tabs on Harry this whole time (like, pretty creepily). Harry still hates Draco. They fight, they fight more, they fight a lot; things happen that make them stop fighting (maybe the fact that Draco eats his scones with black currant jam, idk); Harry realises that Draco isn't so bad.
LONG STORY SHORT: Harry comes to love Draco, but he's still married to Ginny. Things that involve emotions and fights (but not making Ginny Weasley into a terrible person) happen, and they end up together. Oh and at some point, Draco 'fiercely whispers' to Harry that he loved Harry first. lol. I love possessive Draco.
